Thank you, guests, for being here today to talk about these important developments in Ukraine. Of course being involved in the Ukraine theatre, if you will, is one of the things that Canada needs to do. Even though it's across the ocean and across the planet, it affects Canada in so many ways because of the family ties and the people-to-people contact that we have with people in Ukraine. In my riding of Etobicoke—Lakeshore, in particular, there is a very large first-generation Ukrainian community that is actively concerned about what is going on in Ukraine.
In your presentations, you touched on three important axes of activity. You talked about the economic development, the sanctions regime, and the military assistance that we are providing to Ukraine right now. I'd like to expand on the military component, because so many stakeholders in my own community and stakeholders I meet around the country say that it is a top priority.
Mr. Levin and General Balfe, perhaps you can expand on the unique Canadian expertise that we bring to this training mission. Canada has 200 personnel deployed in western Ukraine. They are there or will be there with American personnel and U.K. personnel. I understand that Poland is going to be participating in this training mission also. What are some of the unique things that Canadian trainers bring to this engagement?
